Funny, Rindu Alriavindra – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2014
The first idea that must be understood by the students to learn the concept of concept of conservation of area is recomposing shape. In recomposing shape, the students will see the fact that the shape can be transformed into a different form without adding or losing the part of the shape. So the students could conclude that the area of the shape…

Yuberta, Kurnia Rahmi; Zulkardi; Hartono, Yusuf; van Galen, Frans – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2011
Many researchers found that students have difficulties in understanding area measurement. Students mostly focus on applying formula to find the area of certain shapes without knowing what the area is and why the formula works. It is important for the students to know what attribute being measured and to construct the unit for area measurement.…

Bustang, B.; Zulkardi, Z.; Darmawijoyo, H.; Dolk, Maarten; van Eerde, Dolly – International Education Studies, 2013
This paper reports a study on designing and testing an instructional sequence for the teaching and learning of the concept of angle in Indonesian primary schools. The study's context is employing the current reform movement adopting "Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia" (an Indonesian version of Realistic Mathematics Education).…

Sari, Elisabet Ayunika Permata; Juniati, Dwi; Patahudin, Sitti Maesuri – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2012
Fractions varied meanings is one of the causes of difficulties in learning fractions. These students should be given greater opportunities to explore the meaning of fractions before they learn the relationship between fractions and operations on fractions. Although students shading an area represents a fraction, it does not mean they really…

Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra; Zulkardi; Hartono, Yusuf – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2012
Several previous researches showed that students had difficulty in understanding the basic concept of multiplication. Students are more likely to be introduced by using formula without involving the concept itself. This underlies the researcher to design a learning trajectory of learning multiplication using Permainan Tradisional Tepuk Bergambar…

Winarti, Destina Wahyu; Amin, Siti Maghfirotun; Lukito, Agung; Van Gallen, Frans – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2012
Learning the concept of perimeter and area is not easy for students in grade 3 of primary school. A common mistake is that students think that if the area is the same, the perimeter also has to be the same. It is difficult for them to understand that for a given area, there are many possibilities of perimeter and vice versa. When student are not…
